Interesting fact
The 5 Pul coin featuring Muhammed Nadir Shah, who ruled Afghanistan from 1932 to 1935, was the first coin to bear the image of a Afghan king. Prior to this, Afghan coins featured the image of the Afghan emblem, which included a mosque and the Islamic declaration of faith. This change in design marked a significant shift in the country's shift towards a more secular and modernized identity.
